Countywide Race — San Mateo County, California
Full-Time Contract Through June 2, 2026
Grow Your Campaign Skills
You'll work directly with a nationally experienced campaign strategist and a fundraising consultant, helping implement the campaign's strategic and fundraising plans on a day-to-day basis. You won't be writing the strategy — you'll be the person who makes sure it gets done.
Reports to the campaign strategist and fundraising consultant.
What We're Looking For
Someone with one or two cycles of campaign experience — in any capacity, whether field, fundraising, research, or operations — who is highly organized, results-oriented, and not afraid to hold people accountable.

- Organize and staff the candidate's fundraising call time (15–18 hours per week)
- Keep the candidate and their inner circle focused on the highest-priority goals
- Track tasks and deadlines and hold people accountable
- Staff the candidate at events, forums, endorsement meetings, and fundraisers
- Recruit and coordinate volunteers as needed

Requirements
- At least one campaign cycle of experience working on a political campaign
- Exceptionally organized and able to manage multiple priorities under pressure
- Someone who takes initiative and isn't afraid to hold people — including the candidate — accountable to deadlines and priorities
